You will need to create a method that can give you the maximum depth in you tree. From that you can add a method to recursively add empty nodes down to that depth:
class Node:
def __init__(self, data):
self.data = data
self.right = None
self.left = None
@property
def maxDepth(self): # compute maximum depth (i.e. levels under self)
depth = 0
if self.left: depth = self.left.maxDepth+1
if self.right: depth = max(depth,self.right.maxDepth+1)
return depth
def expandToDepth(self,depth=None): # add empty nodes to fill tree
if depth is None: depth = self.maxDepth
if not depth: return
if not self.left: self.left = Node(None)
if not self.right: self.right = Node(None)
self.left.expandToDepth(depth-1)
self.right.expandToDepth(depth-1)
def __repr__(self): # this is just to print the tree
nodeInfo = lambda n: (str(n.data or "?"),n.left,n.right)
return "\n".join(printBTree(self,nodeInfo,isTop=False))
output:
root = Node(5)
root.left = Node(2)
root.right = Node(3)
root.left.left = Node(7)
root.left.left.left = Node(9)
root.right.right = Node(1)
root.right.right.right = Node(6)
root.right.right.left = Node(4)

printBTree() is a function I provided as an answer to another question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49844237/5237560
Here is a copy of it (in case the link disappears):
